Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a metal laminate gasket having sealing portions with different surface pressures for sealing around a hole.
  • a cylinder block as well as a cylinder head may be made of an aluminum alloy.
  • the cylinder bore may deform by the high surface pressure.
  • a gasket in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-82056, includes a first sealing portion around a cylinder bore, which is formed by turning a plate around the cylinder bore, and a bead outside the first sealing portion to resiliently seal therearound.
  • a high surface pressure is formed immediately outside the cylinder bore to securely seal around the cylinder bore, and the bead secondarily seal around the cylinder bore.
  • the cylinder bore or the cylinder liner may deform.
  • USP 4,739,999 has been proposed to provide auxiliary and main sealing devices around a hole to be sealed.
  • the auxiliary sealing device located close to the hole to be sealed provides sealing pressure less than that of the main sealing device to thereby prevent deformation of the cylinder liner.
  • one object of the invention is to provide a metal laminate gasket, wherein deformation of a cylinder block around a cylinder bore or a cylinder liner is prevented.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a metal laminate gasket as stated above, wherein the cylinder bore can be securely sealed therearound.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a metal laminate gasket as stated above, wherein even if rigidity of the cylinder head is not strong, vibration or deformation of the cylinder head is substantially prevented.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide a metal laminate gasket as stated above, wherein the gasket can be easily and economically manufactured.
  • a metal laminate gasket is used for an internal combustion engine having at least one hole to be sealed.
  • the gasket is basically formed of a first metal plate and a second metal plate situated over the first metal plate.
  • the first plate includes a first base portion extending substantially throughout an entire area of the engine, a first curved portion extending from the first base portion to define a first hole corresponding to the hole of the engine, and a first flange extending from the first curved portion and located above the first base portion.
  • the second plate includes a second base portion situated above the first base portion at a side of the first flange and extending substantially throughout an entire area thereof, a second curved portion extending from the second base portion to define a second hole, and a second flange extending from the second curved portion to be located above the second base portion.
  • the second hole has a diameter greater than an outer diameter of the first flange so that the first flange is located inside the second curved portion when the first and second plates are assembled.
  • the thickness of the first plate is greater than the thickness of the second plate but less than a double thickness of the second plate.
  • the first flange forms a first sealing portion adjacent to the hole of the engine, and the second flange forms a second sealing portion outside the first sealing portion.
  • the second sealing portion non-resiliently and securely seals around the hole at a portion away from the hole. Thus, deformation of the cylinder block or cylinder liner is prevented.
  • the sealing portions can be formed easily. Further, since the second flange does not provide resiliency, when the cylinder head is tightened relative to the cylinder block, the cylinder head does not receive a force from the gasket to push the cylinder head upwardly around the cylinder bore. Thus, deformation of the cylinder head such that a middle portion of the cylinder head rises is prevented.
  • the gasket is useful for the cylinder head, which does not have strong rigidity.
  • a surface pressure regulation plate for regulating surface pressure of the second sealing portion may be formed on the second base portion of the second plate. Further, an outer plate may be provided outside the surface pressure regulation plate and the second flange. The outer plate may have a bead located between the first flange and the first base portion to provide resiliency to the first sealing portion.
  • the gasket A is a cylinder head gasket and includes a plurality of cylinder bores Hc, water holes Hw, oil holes Ho, bolt holes Hb, push rod holes Hp and so on, as in the conventional gasket.
  • portions around the cylinder bores Hc are sealed in accordance with the present invention. Any sealing means may be used for sealing around the water holes Hw and oil holes Ho, which are omitted in the drawings.
  • the gasket A is formed of a lower plate A10, and an upper plate A11, which extend substantially throughout an entire area of an engine to be installed.
  • the lower plate A10 includes a base portion A10a, a curved portion A10b to define a cylinder bore Hc, and a flange A10c.
  • the flange A10c is located above the base portion A10a with a space A12 therebetween.
  • the upper plate A11 includes a base portion A11a to be located above the base portion A10a, a curved portion A11b, and a flange A11c located above the base portion A11a.
  • the curved portion A11b defines a hole to receive the flange A10c therein without overlapping therewith.
  • the thickness of the plate A10 is greater than that of the plate A11, but less than the double thickness of the plate A11.
  • the gasket A includes a first sealing portion A13 formed of the flange A10c and the base portion A10a, and a second sealing portion A14 formed of the flange A11c, the base portion A11a and the base portion A10a.
  • the thickness at the first sealing portion A13 is less than the thickness at the second sealing portion A14.
  • the second sealing portion A14 provides high surface pressure away from the cylinder bore Hc, while the first sealing portion A13 provides surface pressure around the cylinder bore Hc less than the second sealing portion A14.
  • the gasket A In the gasket A, deformation of the cylinder bore or the cylinder liner is prevented. Also, in the gasket A, since the second sealing portion A14 does not provide resilient surface pressure when the gasket is tightened, the gasket A receives only a few compression deformation in the change of surface pressure due to combustion of fuel in the cylinders, so that vibration of a cylinder head (not shown) due to combustion in the cylinders is reduced. The gasket A securely seals around the cylinder bore Hc at the second sealing portion A14.
  • Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment B of the metal laminate gasket of the invention.
  • the gasket B is formed of a lower plate B10 with a flange B10c, and an upper plate B11 with a flange B11c, as in the gasket A.
  • a surface pressure regulation plate B15 is provided on a base portion B11a to regulate surface pressure at the flange B11c.
  • the thickness of the plate B15 is slightly less than that of the flange B11c or the upper plate B11.
  • the surface pressure is substantially concentrated at the flange B11c to securely seal around the cylinder bore Hc, while the surface pressure is slightly applied on the plate B15.
  • the surface pressure can be controlled by regulating the thickness of the plate B15.
  • the gasket B operates as in the gasket A.
  • Fig. 4 shows a third embodiment C of the metal laminate gasket of the invention.
  • the gasket C is formed of a lower plate C10 with a flange C10c, an upper plate C11 with a flange C11c, and a surface pressure regulation plate C15, as in the gasket B.
  • the gasket C further includes an outer plate C16 with an inner portion C16a.
  • the outer plate C16 is generally located above the surface pressure regulation plate C15, but the inner portion C16a is located between the flange C10c and a base portion C10a.
  • the gasket C operates as in the gasket B.
  • Fig. 5 shows a fourth embodiment D of the metal laminate gasket of the invention.
  • the gasket D is formed of a lower plate D10 with a base portion D10a and a flange D10c, an upper plate D11 with a flange D11c, a surface pressure regulation plate D15, and an outer plate D16, as in the gasket C.
  • the plate D16 is provided with a bead D16b at an inner portion D16a.
  • the bead D16b is located between the flange D10c and the base portion D10a.
  • the gasket D When the gasket D is tightened, the flange D11c is completely compressed to provide a main sealing pressure thereat without elasticity, while the bead D16b is compressed to resiliently seal around the cylinder bore Hc. Since the bead D16b is not fully flattened, creep relaxation of the bead D16b is prevented.
  • the gasket D operates as in the gasket C.
  • the main sealing is made away from the cylinder bore to be sealed.
  • the gasket can be easily formed.
